As summer turns into fall, Italy’s harvest season begins. Experiencing it in first person, be it olive picking, grape picking or apple picking, is a wonderful opportunity to go hyperlocal and to immerse yourself in longstanding rituals that are still a way of life in some parts of the country.

The olive harvest and the vendemmia are the most popular harvesting activities in Italy, but if you find yourself in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige, then you should try apple picking!
